With this intensive training you will be able to offer future perspectives in the field of intervention and animal well-being”

Animals provide people with an undeniable bond of security and emotional acceptance. At first, Animal-Assisted Interventions were mainly carried out with the participation of dogs and/or horses, and were mostly restricted to helping people with some kind of physical or psychological pathology. However, given the years of development in human-animal relations in different contexts, these interventions have been expanded to new scenarios. The pioneering species in these fields were farm animals, which were initially used as therapeutic aids for people with psychiatric pathologies.  

Later, the work of zoo trainers and caretakers gave way to the first approaches using less conventional species in a controlled environment, such as marine mammals living under human care. Such animals regularly interact with people so they have developed skills that can be used in therapeutic environments to treat physical, neurological and psychoemotional pathologies.  

The presence of an animal allows psychologists to have an important motivational element in establishing therapeutic alliances and in adhering to the treatment that facilitates communication and achieving objectives, which will in turn solve or improve different physical and psychological problems in multiple demographics, especially in children and the elderly. 

Throughout these weeks of training, students will develop transversal competences at a theoretical and practical level, specifically in therapies conducted with different types of patients and in the handling of animals used in AAI. They will have the ability to develop Assisted Therapy methodologies based on specific patient objectives and/or a systematic methodology that guarantees learning.
